Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of engine tensioner manufacturing, and in particular relates to a multifunctional anti-tooth jump guide tensioner. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of a car engine, the four processes of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust occur continuously in the cylinder, and the timing of each step must be coordinated with the movement state and position of the piston, so that the intake and exhaust and the lifting and lowering of the piston are coordinated with each other. The timing belt plays the role of a "bridge" in the engine, and transmits power to the corresponding parts under the drive of the crankshaft. The distance between the crankshaft and the intake cam on the timing belt is relatively long. Generally, an idler wheel is set between the two to tighten the belt. The idler wheel can assist the tensioner wheel in guiding the belt so that the timing belt can be transmitted stably. However, there is a single-point contact between the idler wheel and the belt. Due to the influence of space and distance, the tightness of the belt cannot be controlled. In particular, when the engine stops, it will cause the engine to reverse, which can easily cause the belt that has just been turned out from the crankshaft to jump teeth, eventually leading to timing confusion and engine damage.

[0017] like Figure 1-4The utility model is shown as a multifunctional anti-tooth jumping guide tensioner, comprising an exhaust cam 1, an intake cam 3, a timing belt 4, a tensioner 5, a guide tensioning mechanism 6 and a crankshaft pulley 2, wherein the exhaust cam 1 and the intake cam 3 are arranged side by side above the crankshaft pulley 2, and the timing belt 4 drives and connects the exhaust cam 1, the crankshaft pulley 2 and the exhaust cam 1 in sequence; a tensioner 5 is provided between the exhaust cam 1 and the crankshaft pulley 2, and the tensioner 5 tensions the timing belt 4 between the exhaust cam 1 and the crankshaft pulley 2, and a guide tensioning mechanism 6 is provided on the timing belt 4 between the crankshaft pulley 2 and the intake cam 3.

[0018] The guide tensioning mechanism 6 includes a base bracket 7 and a guide plate 9. The base bracket 7 is fixedly installed in the engine. One end of the guide plate 9 is rotatably connected to the base bracket 7, and the other end is elastically connected to the base bracket 7. The side of the guide plate 9 is pressed against the timing belt 4. There is multi-point rolling contact between the guide plate 9 and the timing belt 4. The guide plate 9 guides the timing belt 4 to tension the timing belt 4.

[0019] The base bracket 7 comprises a rotating shaft 71, a first supporting arm 72 and a second supporting arm 73, the first supporting arm 72 and the second supporting arm 73 respectively extend outward from the outside of the rotating shaft 71 to form a V-shape, and the angle formed between the ends of the first supporting arm 72 and the second supporting arm 73 and the center of the rotating shaft 71 is greater than 90 degrees; the rotating shaft 71, the first supporting arm 72 and the second supporting arm 73 of the base bracket 7 are integrally formed parts, an engine mounting hole 711 is provided at the center of the rotating shaft 71, the engine mounting hole 711 fixes the base bracket 7 in the engine, and a hexagonal blind hole 712 is provided at the core of the front of the rotating shaft 71, and the hexagonal blind hole 712 facilitates the rotation and adjustment operation of the base bracket 7. A positioning pin 713 protruding outward is provided on the back of the rotating shaft 71, and the distance between the positioning pin 713 and the center of the rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the positioning pin and the edge of the rotating shaft. The positioning pin 713 cooperates with the engine mounting hole 711 to position and install the base bracket 7 in the engine, so that the base bracket 7 remains fixed.

[0020] The end of the first support arm 72 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the guide plate 9, and the lower end of the guide plate 9 hangs down to the end of the second support arm 73. The end of the second support arm 73 is fixedly installed with a tensioner 8, and the front end of the tensioner 8 points to the inner side of the guide plate. The tensioner 8 and the inner side of the guide plate 9 are elastically abutted and connected. The V-shaped base bracket 7 uses the guide plate 9 to support and guide the belt. Compared with the roller support, it has the advantages of small volume and large support surface, will not interfere with the operation of other parts, and has better support stability. The tail of the tensioner 8 is fixedly connected to the second support arm 73 through two screw holes. The front end of the tensioner 8 is provided with a spring column 81, which abuts against the inner side of the guide plate 9. The spring column 81 is subjected to the tensioning force of the timing belt 4 and moves in a telescopic manner. The spring column 81 presses the guide plate 9 tightly, so that the guide plate 9 can press the timing belt 4 inwardly. When the belt is suddenly loose and tight, it is timely tensioned inward or relaxed outward, so that the timing belt 4 runs stably and is not easy to jump teeth or get stuck.

[0021] The outer side of the guide plate 9 contacts the timing belt 4. The outer side of the guide plate 9 is provided with two outwardly protruding arc surfaces along its length.

The more contact points, the better the support stability, and the more stable the control of the belt by the guide plate 9.

[0022] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the base bracket 7 is fixedly installed between the crankshaft pulley 2 and the intake cam 3, so that the guide plate 9 can be pressed on the timing belt 4 from the outside, and the multiple roller bearings 91 on the guide plate 9 are in contact with the timing belt 4. When the timing belt 4 is transmitted, it rolls and rubs against the multiple roller bearings 91, and the roller bearings 91 support the timing belt 4 to run smoothly; the spring column 81 of the tensioner 8 forms an elastic support facing the guide plate 9 on the inner side of the guide plate, and the spring column 81 is moved by the tensioning force of the timing belt to perform telescopic movement. When the timing system suddenly stops, the timing belt 4 between the crankshaft pulley 2 and the intake cam 3 suddenly becomes loose, and the tensioner 8 can push the guide plate 9 forward in real time, and the guide plate 9 supplements the tensioning force of the belt, so that the timing belt 4 will not be loose, and the timing belt 4 rotated from the crankshaft pulley 2 will not be loose or jump teeth, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system.
